thanks to Aleksandar , Bryan, Michael.
I will have to checkout cdrecord and implement it.
Orig Question.
I have a Yamaha CD Recoder (SCSI). The Model # is CDR400At-NB.
I need to hook it up on a sun machine (SPARC station ELC), running SunOS
4.1.3_U1.
How do I do that.
Please let me know of the steps involved in hooking this Yamaha recorder up
and running on the Sun box.
I should be able to write and read CD's from it.
Replies were as follows.

You'll need some program for burning CDs. I use cdrecord. It works
on Solaris 2.x and fair amount of other versions of UNIX. Don't know
if it supports SunOS 4.x.x.
Check this URL, anyway:

For writing CDs, have a look at cdrecord:

1) read the manual - you need to change the block size to 512.
Yamaha is the one of a few that let you do this. It has a jumper for this
near the SCSI ID jumpers, clearly labeled.
2) Connect the drive and try to read from it as you would from a regular CD.
3) Fetch <http://www.cd-info.com/CDIC/Technology/CD-R/FAQ.html> and read.
4) Go to <ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/> you'll want probably
cdrecord and mkisofs ( I think cdrecord comes with mkisofs or vice versa )
5) Read last month article in SysAdmin magazine - I think you can find it on
www.samag.com
6) If succesfull - posty the summary :-)
Good Luck.
